Hit up Tyson's Corner and IKEA yesterday and now I'm tired, which is a shame bc I have a lot to do today and tomorrow. Friday too, but I'm being realistic about what I can accomplish then. Tyson's was empty. We were able to get in and out in record time and make it down to IKEA before the traffic creeped from 95 to 495.

Isn’t there some talk at least of turning some of those giant surface parking lots into something a little more mixed use? That would be a very interesting project to me

it’s the right thing to do! i’d love to keep him/her because my favorite cat who I currently have, his origin story is very similar to this one and was also just found randomly meowing where i could hear from inside, but just can’t do another one unfortunately. plan to try to socialize them though once they get comfortable for a week or two and try to find a good home or a rescue after that.

if i was rich i would have sooo many cats!

Well, I can think of better uses for the space - but they wouldn’t be as profitable. So I can see why the sheetz is going there.

I sure wish it could be a local coffee shop/cafe. That’d be a great place to pop into on the way to or from the river. Something like Crossroads is in Forest Hill.

But that’s pure fantasy. SHEETZ is definitely coming, and it’ll dominate the area. It’s going to be huge and ugly, but it’s gonna make the landlord happy for sure.

Saw this yesterday down in Shockoe. Amazon van pulled into the bike lane on a one-way street. Wanted to say something but there were already Dominion and Verizon service trucks and one other van straight up parked in the bike lane so what's the fucking point?

i try to go but mainly go to chesterfield town center and/or Southpark but i love to explore new malls if i travel. it’s only a few times a year and i know if nobody goes they’re going to close so even though sometimes stuff is cheaper online, i go browse the clearance racks, eat at the food court, stuff like that so at least i am spending a bit even if i’m not enough to sustain it on my own. i figure if most of us who do like them make an effort to show up some it’ll at least give them a fighting chance. so long as they still have some stores worth visiting i will keep going

and also kb toys was the BEST as a kid right up there with toys r us but since it was in the mall it felt super special

I also hate malls dying but haven't spent much time at a mall myself in a while. I have fond memories of the Southland Mall in Marion, OH. Walking up and down the main hallway with friends, tossing coins in the fountain, KB Toys. The mall also had our town's movie theater, so it was cool to see a late movie and walk out into an empty mall at the end at 11pm and stuff.

made a post but i found this guy/girl under my house. my kid was in the bathroom and was like “uh mom there’s meowing under the bathroom” managed to lure it out with YouTube cat sounds and wet dog food (had no tuna or wet cat food and it was around midnight and everything i looked up said dog food was safe as long as it’s like a one time thing and not their diet). but i guess today’s adventures outside of the appointments i have is trying to discover if there are any more of them around the house or not.

i work nights and he or she has been fussing while hiding right under my bed. normally i would not be up at 7am but … at least little fluff isn’t going to be hit by a car or stuck out in the cold
